New PSAT and then taking the SAT --Question

Paying for College National Merit Aid

Hi,

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, but there is so much good information in this forum to read. I have not found the answer to my question.

I will be taking the PSAT this coming Fall (2015), and if I score high enough I know that I will also need a recent SAT score to turn in. I want to take the new SAT and not the old one. My brother was an NMF, but he does not remember the timeline.

Can someone tell me if I will have time to take the new SAT test before NM’s deadline? Note–I see that the new SAT test will only be available to me (the earliest date) in May 2016 because I live overseas.

Thanks.

You cannot take new SAT before this year’s PSAT. As you saw, you can only take new SAT March and after of 2016.

Yes, I understand. I am looking for an answer to the timeline if my PSAT score is high enough…what month do I need to turn in a SAT score? If I needed to turn the score in by March 2016 then that would mean I need to take the old SAT.

You have until December of your senior year to take your confirming SAT.
